About Dr Petersen
I look forward to meeting you where you are, whether you’re completely new to chiropractic or functional medicine, or you’ve enjoyed it your whole life. After a thorough assessment of your baseline and your goals, we can make a plan together. Blending experience and intuition with evidence-based therapies, I create something unique that gets results. Let’s accomplish something together that makes your life even better.
What I do at Align Asheville is a gift and my passion and my life’s work. Witnessing and supporting someone’s healing process is a transformative experience that I am honored to do every day.
The clinical training I received during my undergrad at Cornell and my chiropractic education at Western States has served as my foundation, but the way I now practice is interwoven with intuition, creativity and energetics. Specialized techniques like Bio-geometric Integration and Craniosacral Therapy are brought to my sessions, providing space for people to pause, breathe and unwind. I give adjustments with the intention of providing freedom and ease for your nervous system. I do my job when you leave my office fully expressed and capable, without the blocks you walked in with.
I also practice functional medicine because I believe it is the most accurate, comprehensive and insightful way to make choices about where to put our health care energy and dollars. I’ve seen it focus and accelerate healing for me, my family and countless patients over the 10 years it’s been a part of my practice. I’ve done extensive training in this discipline as well, and the learning is ongoing.
I have been a chiropractor for 15 years – in Portland Oregon, and now in Asheville since 2013 but work with people from all over. My vision for Align Asheville is to provide the very best therapies, skillfully executed and shared compassionately in an environment that is inclusive and uplifting.
Let’s keep healing, keep getting better.
